Photo Essay

As I mentioned in a tweet on Friday night, I am back in Vancouver! And where was I? How about a couple hundred of click south? Yes, I was in Seattle… Wait, make that Tacoma. It was a bit unfortunate it was raining the whole time, not to mention I was far from Downtown Seattle. I did go there on my way back but, still, I couldn’t take that many pictures of the area (aside from rain, did not have a tripod with me). But, even then, I am glad to be back in Vancouver. As a reminder of where I live, I decided to take a small walk – hey, both cities have certain similarity (rain aside…). Here, a small photo essay.

I think I am starting a tradition here, hehehehe. Similar to last year (here and here), I went to Van Dusen Botanical Garden again this year for the Festival of Lights. Below is my photo essay. And, of course, Merry Christmas to everybody!

Santa Claus Parade 2009

by KimHo on December 13, 2009 under: British Columbia,Photo Essay

Last week in Vancouver, it was the Santa Claus Parade. I am not aware when the first one occurred and, when I was living in Downtown, I never paid attention to it. But, given the fe$tive environment right now, I thought I should check it. So, below, the good, the bad and the ugly of Santa Clause Parade 2009!

Central Park – New York

by KimHo on November 29, 2009 under: Photo Essay,Travel

Yesterday, I wrote about my visit to New York City. Reality is, I am not that much into Broadway shows or similar activities that New York City is known of. Instead, me being a lone-wolf type person, I prefer to do activities of my own. And the “best” such activity in New York City? A visit to Central Park! Here is my photo essay of that visit.

New York, New York!

by KimHo on November 28, 2009 under: Events,Photo Essay,Travel

As you should have noticed on last week’s posts, I was in New Jersey. How long? How about two weeks! So, during the weekend, I decided to, once again, make the best out of my trip: In this case, go to New York city, the Big Apple! Here is a photo essay of places I went. Please, sit down and enjoy the ride!

Following my visit to Van Dusen Botanical Garden (click here to check that post – will open in a new window), on the following weekend, I chose to go to another local park/garden. In this case, Queen Elizabeth Park. I must mention it was raining on the prior days and started to rain again an hour or so after I left the park so I was really fortunate I took advantage of that small window of opportunity. So, without further ado, enjoy this photo essay!

Colours of Fall 2009

by KimHo on October 18, 2009 under: British Columbia,Events,Photo Essay

Note: Today, I have two post! This is the second one of two – the “other” one is called “Cooking Shows“.

In the last couple of days, the weather has gone sideways. Weather almost hit 0C/32F for a couple of days and we are not even winter yet! Likewise, it has been raining in the last couple of days! Now, rain as in actual rain, not that drizzle that seems to last forever. Anyway, in a small gap between those two wacky instances of Vancouver’s weather, I went to my favourite garden: Van Dusen Botanical Garden, which I have blogged previously – 2008 Festival of Lights, 2008 Festival of Lights Dancing Lights and pictures in spring. (On that note, I also visited Queen Elizabeth Park, my other favourite garden/park. Pictures coming next week!). So, enjoy this photo essay!
